+ Show Spoiler + votingforblizzard Anonymous Source Posts: 1 Joined: 27 Mar 2009 I signed up just to vote for Relic. But let me introduce myself (First post lol!). I'm a prebuscent intellectual who really understands art in general. Whether it's music or video games, I have a true knack for appreciated exceptional work and the innovation therein. So I think I'm qualified to make a vote in this Blizzard-Relic debate. (Mods, could you please allow my vote to count 5 times to accurately reflect my expertise?). Let me explain my stance by analogy -- I think the Blizzard-Relic debate is isomorphic to the following example in music: In my prepubertal intellectualism, I really think that daft punk or some shit is really on par with, say, Rachmaninoff. Because, after all, it's been about a century since that dead Russian composed anything worth listening to. And daft punk is just like, more innovative. I like weird ass robot sounds in my music because I can't understand the virtuosic climaxes and diatonic melody from the "Allegro mon on tanto" movement in Rach's 3rd Piano Concerto. Seriously guys, this debate is over. Relic wins. 10/10 for whoever wrote that post | ||

So you don't like hack-and-slashes. That doesn't automatically make Diablo and Diablo II bad games. For those who use WoW as a point against Blizzard, what's the deal? Sure, it might not be your style, but quite frankly, it was just as big of a leap forward in the MMO genre as Starcraft was in the RTS genre. It popularized the genre beyond any previously known level, and, in terms of actual content, was the first MMO to provide strong, high-level encounter design. Debatably, other MMOs still have yet to match the encounter design quality of WoW. | ||

I really don't give a fuck if some teenager with a brain half the size of my ballsack thinks a company who released a couple good games is better than the one which created progaming. | ||

If this were a SC vs DoW poll, I'd fully expect the TL community and any other huge fan of Starcraft to go over there blindly with feverous cheers about the greatest game ever, how its an e-sport yadda yadda. However it is not. It is a Blizzard v Relic poll/discussion. And the arguments some of you are posting here, and there are really mis-informed, and downright bad mannered. Its like some of you are cheering for a sports team. + Show Spoiler + (I wish I could link here the thread/poll conducted here on TL where someone asked if Blizzard truly designed SC to be as great as it is, or if they just got really fucking lucky, and the poll was overwhelmingly favored to Luck.) | ||

I think it's fair to say that that's true of both sides. there have been some decent posts though! and some diplomatic ones, too. kind of. maybe. | ||

But after years of modifications (patches and maps) the end product ended up being much greater than initially previewed. But It couldnt be all based on luck, after all they got everything right with BW expansion, they knew what they were doing, they just didnt know it would do so well. =p As Gai sensei said to Rock Lee, luck is an important part of any battle.

Good and bad could be said of both. Blizzard made some huge breakthroughs, but sadly, most of the original talent that brought those breakthroughs left, and the remaining new staff has just been riding the success of the name. Think of the breakout amazing things they did, Warcraft, Starcraft Diablo. and what games are on the horizon ? Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. come on. I won't get into the positives because they're abundantly clear, and most have already been posted. Relic on the other hand, is actually attempting very new things, if you look at what they've done from DoW1 (taken the basic build/gather rts) to CoH (Completely redone the idea of "massing troops and sending them to their deaths") to DoW2, they really are innovative and doing well in pushing for new things. | ||

See thats the thing, and In bringing up the argument of DoW vs Starcraft (altho starcraft is DUH the better game) it also brings up the subtle argument of Games Workshop vs Blizzard, in wich blizzard straight up RIPPED sc from wh40k and warcraft from warhammer fantasy. Seriously, Warcraft 1 was supposed to be a warhammer RTS, then it got changed later. | ||

Ahhh well the fact that Blizzard is losing just goes to show how far the gaming community has fallen.... People nowadays seem to care more about flashy lights and "innovation" more than having an actual game to play. | ||
